I'm, nto into pop music myself, but sometimes someone asks me about current music in Poland and where they can access it. Well, you need the name of the tune, band or performer. Can someone point of who would best exmplify the different styles. I know of Bayer Full in disco polo, but what about:
pop, rock, techno, hiphop, metal, reggae (is it still around?), folk (would that be Golec Orchestra?), and whatever else there is. What class would Kaja be in? And Kasia Kowalska?

Polonius3:
reggae (is it still around?)


yes and its popular. East West Rockers, Maleo Raggae Rockers, Vavamuffin, Indios Bravos, Jamal, Marika.


Polonius3:
folk

world famouse is Kapela Ze Wsi Warszawa (Varsaw village band)

Polonius3:
techno

To be accurate techno its really rare and underground kind of music. What you probably mean is eurodance/harddance/trance.

I post you few nice thing whish are not nessecerly brand new:
Electric Rudeboys (ragga jungle? dnb?)


Sonic Division (electro boogie)


Polonius3:
What class would Kaja be in?


Kayah. Pop.

Polonius3:
Kasia Kowalska?


pop-rock.

Both are not on the top in last years...

Me too, what a charming song. Sounds like one of those from Piwnica pod Baranami.

You're right. That's the cabaret style just like in the Piwnica pod Baranami. The place produced many good artists and songs in the past. Hopefully, they still do.

From the inter-war period, but still fondly remembered by the over 50s and anyone younger not afraid to go a bit retro, is Polish Tango:


It's recently had a (patchy, but in places excellent) make-over by various DJ/Club types - look out for Cafe Fogg:

Polish music is fantastic! Polish musicians excel in every genre of music! I have devoted a section of my website to Polish Music. There is something for every taste: classical, jazz, pop, rock, techno, hiphop, rap, reggae, ska, goth, opera, punk, choirs, and even a few hits from a famous group of the 60s named Czerwone Gitary, otherwise known as the Polish Beatles!! The only Polish country music group - as far as I know is Zayazd, whose style is a fusion of country-rock-folk. They are fantastic! There are several audio tracks of Chopin`s works, and many many music videos of Polish artists of all genres including their biographies. There are also many award-winning Polish composers whose music has been featured in popular American films!! Check it out at Polish Culture (a division of Polish Greatness.com) Log onto: www.polishgreatness.com/polishculture/GatewaytoPolishCulture.html I know that there are many more Polish artists but it was impossible to include them all. I hope you enjoy the selection, and feel free to comment on it or make suggestions! Thank you!

The female singer's name: Basia Stępniak-Wilk

The Lyrics:

A gdy patrzę tak
Śmiejesz się
Śmiejesz się

Dzień pogania noc
Świtem purpurowym
Ty jak czarny kot
Kończysz łowy
Nic mi do twych zdrad
Chociaż dziwi, że
Ich gorzkawy smak
Ciągle kusi cię

A gdy patrzę tak, śmiejesz się:
Nic mi do twych zdrad
Ale wiem

Choć papierków po cukierkach
Tu i ówdzie ślad
Marzy ci się bombonierka
Taka jak ja
Niby nic, a jednak zerkasz
Jak się dostać do pudełka
Odkryć tajemnicę słodką
Delikatnie zdjąć złotko

Choć papierków po cukierkach
Ślad i tam i tu
Marzy ci się bombonierka
Istny cud
Żeby tak nasycić się
Ale wciąż w zapasie mieć
I rozgryzać tę zagadkę
Tę zagadkę
Po ostatnią czekoladkę

Noc pogania dzień
Szafirowym zmierzchem
Tobie kocich gier
Nie dość jeszcze
Nic mi do twych zdrad
Chociaż dziwi, że
Ostry kolor kłamstw
Nie razi cię

A gdy patrzysz tak, śmieję się:
Nic mi do twych zdrad
Ale wiem

Choć papierków po cukierkach
Tu i ówdzie ślad
Marzy ci się bombonierka
Taka jak ja
Niby nic, a jednak zerkasz
Jak się dostać do pudełka
Odkryć tajemnicę słodką
Delikatnie zdjąć złotko

Choć papierków po cukierkach
Ślad i tam i tu
Marzy ci się bombonierka
Istny cud
Żeby tak nasycić się
Ale wciąż w zapasie mieć
I rozgryzać tę zagadkę
Po ostatnią czekoladkę

Choć papierków po cukierkach
Tu i ówdzie ślad
Marzy mi się bombonierka
Taka jak ta
Niby nic a jednak zerkam
Jak się dostać do pudełka
Odkryć tajemnicę słodką
Delikatnie zdjąć

Choć papierków po cukierkach
Ślad i tam i tu
Marzy mi się bombonierka
Istny cud
Żeby tak nasycić się
Ale wciąż w zapasie mieć
I rozgryzać tę zagadkę
Po ostatnią czekoladkę

Choć papierków po cukierkach
Tu i ówdzie ślad
Marzy mi się bombonierka
Taka jak ta
Niby nic a jednak zerkasz
Jak się dostać do pudełka
Odkryć tajemnicę słodką
Delikatnie zdjąć złotko

Choć papierków po cukierkach
Ślad i tam i tu
Marzy mi się bombonierka
Istny cud
Żeby tak nasycić się
Ale wciąż w zapasie mieć
I rozgryzać tę zagadkę

Under 2009-2011 the Polish Club scen has expanded massively, all thanks more established artist such as Dj Remo & Kalwi & Remi, this growing industry of fresh producers with a will of coming out on the national market. One of my favorite artist Robert M (Robert Maczynski) is the polish answer to David Guetta, has been able to create a mass hysteria in Poland, with different quotes and love for his fans & music.
Pliz check him out if Ur in to Pop/ Dance music & support today's generation of polish musicians trying to hit the world market. Search for Robert M on FB & YouTube
